Foreword

This volume of the Pine Knot is issued by the
editors to the friends of Atlantic Christian College
as a record of the past collegiate year. Although
our classes are small and many difficulties con-
fronted us, we do not apologize for this book, be-
cause we have put our best efforts in its production.
We hope that the following pages will give you
pleasure and increase your love for A.C.C.

FRANCES F. HARPER

IN TRUE GRATITUDE FOR HER LOYAL SERVICES

ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE

THIS VOLUME OF THE PINE KNOT IS

DEDICATED

Raymond A. Smith, A.M., B.D.

President

In the spirit of sincere gratefulness for the untiring interest
and devotion of Dr. Smith to Atlantic Christian College we wish
to express our most hearty appreciation. The College has made
great forward strides during the four years of his administration.
Several active and successful campaigns have been launched
during his administration to increase the financial side of the
College. At present there is a campaign under way to raise
$225,000 within our churches of the State, which we know is to
meet with success. The College is now on a better financial
basis than she has been for many years. Further than this, the
College has made progress educationally.

We would mention the happy associations we have had with
Dr. Smith. He has ever been interested in the students and
faculty and always does what he can for their good and for their
pleasure and happiness. We know that his services will ever
be appreciated, not only here in the college, but all over the
State. Let us all give hearty cooperation to Dr. Smith and
Atlantic Christian College, that Christian education shall go
forward in our ranks.

Senior Class Poem

Once I sat in the twilight,

Looking from my ivindow;
At the oncoming darkness of night

And the things that had shone in splendor.

The wind was cold and shrill,
As the sun's rays were passing away.

All without was still;

It seemed as the end of a perfect day.

Looking into the shadows,

Till they seemed to disappear;
And then, o'erhanging the meadows,

Was the sky so very clear.

In the distance ivas an angelic form,

As though a messenger oj Fate
Coming with a task to perform,

Or some story to relate.

I looked again, and he was near —

A herald with news to inform,
An angel oj life with destinies to steer,

That fortunes may not be forlorn.

My heart I opened to my Heavenly Guest,
And I listened to his message, too,

Hoping that what he said would be best,
And glorious and kind and true.

This messenger of great surprise

Came during my dream of silent longing;

To brighten the horizon of my wishful skies,
Directing my thoughts that came thronging.

I fancied he opened a Book of Knowledge,
A History of all that u'as ever done.

Such a book I've never found in college,
Telling of all that will ever come.

Then I tried to think of something to ask
This messenger, something I'd like to know.

At once I thought about my College Class,
Wondering into what each one should grow.

Turning the leaves until finding the pages

Where our future ivas recorded,
He said, "From this class there shall be sages

That some day will be rewarded.

"All of you will be great leaders,

And soar to realms sublime —
Musicians, Teachers, Preachers, and Readers —

As the ladder of life you climb.

"Your work and tasks you have done in
splendor,
But you've not reached your goal;
For there're great services that you must
render,
And great problems to unfold."

Then he turned and soon was out of sight,
As clouds disappear and new ones are born.

Then, waking from my dreaming in the twi-
light.
It 'most seemed as 'twas early in the morn.

Now, fellow-classmates, we launch from
A.C.C.,
From scenes of happy days —
Foundations builded strong trusting them
to be,
Able to stand firm in all our ways.

Scene of college days where through much toil
We struggled to master and have dominion

O'er facts and truths not to be unfoiled,
And not o'er things of mere opinion.

To thee, Alma Mater, we say, Fareiuell.

May thy halls stand up in our dreams.
But, rising and flowing like water from a well.

We must sail on — on down the streams.

Memories of thee we'll ever keep through life;

For, dear Alma Mater, we owe to thee
Thy guidance in conflict and strife.

So, Farewell to thee! Farewell to thee!

Rupert A. Phillips. '20.

SELMA PERKINS, Expression
Wendell, N. C.

Selma came to us in 1918, and by
"doubling" in Expression is enabled to
graduate this year. She delights us all
with her dramatic talent, and has won
many friends by her sunny disposition.
But she would have us all know that
there is one Friend who stands above
the rest in her affections. We do not
blame but envy him, for surely she is
one of those whom the gods kissed,
saying:

"Thou art jair, my child."

RUPERT A. PHILLIPS, A.B.
Macclesfield, N. C.

A very young boy, known as just
"Pert," came to us four years ago with
high ambitions and undaunted courage.
After having been with us two years, he
spent his Junior year at Bethany College
(Bethany, W. Va. ) , but returned to A.C.
for his degree. He attended Summer
School at the University of North Caro-
lina in 1919. He is now ready to begin
his chosen profession, the Ministry.
Already he is holding "fourth time"
pastorates for the Christian churches at
Wendell, Red Bank and Walstonburg,
N. C.

". . . and still the wonder greiv

That one small head could carry all he knew."

LOTTIE WILSON, Expression

Wilsons Mills, N. C.

In '17 Lottie hailed from Wilsons Mills,

And full many a heart she has given thrills.

Many a note has been in the air,

That in Music and Expression none could
compare.

Lottie, I say, surpasses in Expression,

Studious and gay, and never in suppression.

When Moye comes by she always hails,
But in her classuork she never, never fails.

Just what the future holds in store for
her is a mystery as yet. Her talents lie
in several directions. She may be a
great musician. For three years while
here she has specialized in this as well
as in the art of Expression. She is so
musical in her temperament that we
were all surprised when she decided to
major in Expression. We know that she
will continue to cultivate her musical
talents as well as her talents in Ex-
pression.

LAWRENCE MOYE, A.B.

Farmville, N. C.

Lawrence entered A.C.C. in 1916. His
earliest joy was to play "drop the hand-
kerchief" with the girls or to take his
place in playing "leap-frog" with the
boys.

He thinks twice, but then speaks
quickly, and woe be you if you hear not
or fail to obey. He is self-confident and
determined, and has won the love and
admiration of the students and faculty.

"He who is firm and resolute in will,
moulds the world to himself."

ADA GREY DIXON, Voice

Farmville, N. C.

"Grey" loves to stay at A.C.C. She
came to us when she was quite a little
girl and has been "brought up in the
way she should go." She had been here
nearly a year before her wonderful voice
was discovered, and it has been a con-
stant source of pleasure ever since.

"A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard
In springtime from the cuckoo-bird."

JAMES MACK PERRY, A.B.
Robersonville, N. C.

Perry is one of the "Old Boys" among
us. However, we will not say how old.
Anyway, he began his education in the
days of the Blue-back Speller. After he
had absorbed the limited curriculum of
his home school, he went to Shenan-
doah Collegiate Institute to continue the
good work. Here, we are told, he was
a star baseball player, but, like "Billy"
Sunday, he had higher things in view, so
refused to follow the game and took up
the ministry. He now holds a Diploma
in Music and a Ph.B. But he says his
ambition has been a degree from A.C.C.
He has quite a reputation as an evangel-
istic singer. He marries, buries, preaches
hard and fiddles in his own church or-
chestra at Robersonville. We have great
hopes for his further success after leav-
ing A.C.C.

"Build thee more stately mansions, my soul,
As the swift seasons roll."

Class History

Years, years, and years ago, it seems to us now, as we look back over the busy but
happy years of our college life, we see the rugged and steep places that were ours to
climb.

In September, 1916, we entered the halls of A.C.C. for our college career. On
this day they watched us, an aggregation of green, awkward country boys and girls,
file into the President's office to enter our names as Freshmen upon the roll-book of
A. C. College. Here day after day for four long years to pass under the rod of
discipline that we might get "Wisdom and Understanding." We soon, however, took
up our regular round of school work, and nothing of importance happened until
Commencement. We were only too glad to see that day dawn, and I must admit that
we had been counting the days — yes, even the hours — before we would leave.

As vacation drew to a close we were surprised to find our thoughts eagerly
wandering back to A.C.C, and we wouldn't even admit to ourselves that we were
nervously counting the days until we should all be back again. And soon we met
our old friends of the campus. After the tiresome days of matriculation were over,
and work began in earnest, we gladly welcomed Lottie into the fold, and she has
shared with us our joys and sorrows.

On September 10, 1918, the Wheel of Time made its round and we found our-
selves again at college as Juniors. We had Selma to join the happy throng. She
couldn't share the days of Sophomorism with us, the days of joy and sorrow; but their
failures and triumphs flicker alike in the dim past. The Junior year was a happy one.
Six ambitious girls and boys embarked with the songs of victory upon Junior seas.
We attended meetings regularlv, and even in the enthusiastic and warm debate, Time
itself cannot erase their memory.

We reported back to duty on time this year to begin our year's work with new
courage. We number only six, yet we have strong determination and stout hearts.
So the Senior year found six of us marching along together. Lawrence, Rupert,
Lottie, Selma, Mr. Perry, and Ada Grey. We have had our trials, as all other Seniors
have. It is needless to recall to you the things we've done or the record we shall leave
behind us, but our class has never been surpassed — we think.

We appreciate the helpful spirit shown us by the faculty, and have tried very hard
to follow the good advice they have given us.

As the session comes to a close, we realize more fully what must be in store for
us when we reach the goal which we are putting forth our utmost efforts to attain.

Lives of Seniors all remind us

We should do our level best;
And, departing, leave behind us.

Records that will help the rest.

A. G. D. '20.

Senior Song

(To the tune oj "Girl of Mine")

There was a Senior Class at A.C.C.

Composed of just two-times-three.

This Senior Class was very brilliant, too.

We thought we knew it;

So we went to it.
It makes no difference if we're young and gay;
We just have to be that way.
We're sorry that the time has nearly come,
But we can't possibly look glum.

Chorus:

It's true we hate to go from a place that is so dear.
It is our Alma Mater; ive've loved her year by year.

You know not how we love you;

Our chums and faculty, too.
We leave with hearts filled with grief and joy,
We wish success to every girl and boy.

It's noiv the time of parting.

Farewell to old A.C.C!

We've traveled o'er the steep and rugged ways,

But you see it always pays.

We've reached the goal that we've been striving for,

We are not through, tho' ;

Do you not think so?
There'll be more struggles we'll have to go through;
They may come to you and you,
And if you come to our old A.C.C,
The lighter they will seem to be.

Chorus.

Senior Class Prophecy

It was one of those warm, dreamy, perfect days in May when the whole earth
seems hushed to silence. The snowy clouds were restless with happiness; the skies
were too blue to keep their distance, and Heaven seemed to press its lips to Earth in
one slow, solemn kiss. King Sun, on his throne, nestled in that vast expanse of
blueness, peeped down through the tall, stately pines on the campus of A.C.C. right
through the window of room number eight in the girls" dormitory and, with his num-
berless tiny beams, teased, tormented, tortured, and finally dared me to leave studies
and cares behind for awhile and steal away into the cool restfulness of the nearby
wood.

It had fallen to my lot to write the prophecy for the Senior Class of 1920, and I
had been waiting for days for some kind of inspiration, but it seemed that nothing of
that nature was coming to help me out of the difficulty.

As I slipped out of the dormitory and stole from the campus I entrusted all my
cares and troubles to those antique, vine-covered buildings and graceful, statelv pines
that have for years spread their protecting arms over the heads of care-free and happy
students. As I saw all these fading in the distance, and when at last the topmost peak
of the tower disappeared, I gave a sigh of relief and felt that — for a little while at
least — a great load had been lifted from my shoulders and I was really going to live.

As I entered the wood its freshness and beauty awakened within me something
that had for weeks and months been asleep, and as my eye was caught by each new
beauty my heart gave one great throb of ecstasy and I ran — actually ran — on and on
deep into the very heart of this new world of loveliness, drinking in its rich natural
beauty with every step. Here and there dainty little blossoms peeped from out the soft
mantle of grass that overspread the ground and turned their delicate faces, still spark-
ling with dew, up to greet the tiny beams of sunlight as they picked their way through
the dense foliage and danced and capered bewitchingly. Clustering vines besprinkled
with myriads of delicate fragrant blossoms fringed the brink of the limpid stream,
flowing across snow-white sands. Busy little birds paused a moment to take their
morning plunge in the crystal waters and chirped and warbled unceasingly. The
breezes, saturated with the odor of unfolding blossoms, rustled among the leaves and
petals, kissing all into a state of enchantment.

On and on I wandered: listless; heedless of time and distance; just merely
living — living — and worshiping at the shrine of Nature.

Unconsciously I turned and looked to the left, and there, not more than fifty yards
away, was the mouth of a sort of cave yawning at me. A little to one side of the
entrance was an immense cauldron suspended by a heavy chain from a tripod. The
fire underneath it was crackling furiously and the contents of the cauldron were
bubbling over the edge and sending up a pale, thin stream of smoke. Just a few feet
away, huddled on a little stool, was a tiny, queer-looking old woman, dressed all in
black. She wore a conical-shaped hat which extended two or three feet in the air,
and a large black bat, with its wings extended, peacefully reposed on the extreme end.
This little woman seemed absolutely unconscious of everything that was going on
around her. She sat with her chin in her palms, silently gazing in the fire. Some-
thing seemed to draw me to this little witch, and as I approached she lifted her head
and said:

"Well, you have come at last, I see. I was waiting for you."

She motioned me to a seat on the mossy knoll. As she stirred the liquid in the
cauldron a huge black cat came slowly and silently out of the cave and curled up
beside me on the grass. The little witch resumed her watchful position. With her
chin in her palms and with lids half closed she gazed at me with her keen black eyes.
I did not feel inclined to speak, for everything was so mysteriously silent. A

peculiarly fragrant odor filled the air, and, feeling very strange, I leaned against a
rock. For a moment I found myself looking steadily at the blue stream of smoke
coming from the cauldron. Then, suddenly, instead of the smoke, I saw a jungle.
Huge reptiles were crawling here and there. In the water near alligators were sunning
themselves. Monkeys and snakes were swinging from every tree. A hippopotamus
stuck his head from out a mass of reeds and vines, but hastily retreated as he saw a
band of natives approaching. The black, savage-looking creatures seated themselves
on the ground, nodding to each other. One of the most hideous of the males pointed
to the left and spoke to the group. I looked in the direction he indicated and saw a
white man approaching. He was slender and supple and swung along with an easy
stride that caught my eye at once. Where had I seen that walk before? The bent
head, the determined air — all looked strangely familiar. As he came up the natives
bowed themselves to the ground. He opened the book which he was carrying, and I
saw on the front in letters of gold, "The Holy Bible." He began to read, and as he
lifted his face I recognized Rupert Phillips — older, of course, but still the same.

The scene vanished, and once more I saw only the pale blue smoke ascending
heavenward and the little witch silently nodding her head. I sat up and rubbed my
eyes. What did this mean? '"Pert," of all people, a missionary in Africa! I looked
at the little witch, but she was still looking in the smoke, so I said nothing but
looked, too.

Then — I saw a neatly furnished breakfast room. The steaming breakfast looked
very tempting, and presently the door opened and a very comfortable looking creature
entered, clad in tea gown, boudoir cap, and room slippers. This creature was not the
mother of the household, as one would suppose, but the father. He seated himself at
the table and proceeded to pour the coffee, while his wife took her place and glanced
at the headlines of the morning paper. She was dressed in a smart dark-blue coatsuit
with collar and tie. She also wore a dark sailor and her gloves and cane were within
easy reach. Apparently she was ready for work.

"Dearie," she said in a firm, steady voice, "my lecture for the suffrage meeting is
scheduled promptly at ten. I suspect vou'd better hurry."

As her husband served her in the daintiest fashion possible, she bestowed a very
grateful smile upon him, and it was then I saw that this woman of business was
Selma Perkins.

Once more the scene vanished and only the thin stream of smoke could be seen.

Again : I saw an overcrowded opera house. Evervone in the audience was
leaning forward and eagerly watching and waiting. At last a figure appeared in full
dress and at sight of him a roar of applause burst from' the audience. He came
forward unhesitatingly and smiled graciously at his audience. The accompanist
played the opening bars and a deep, rich, full voice filled the room. As he sang the
audience was moved to smiles and then to tears. This was not a song; it was more
than a song; it was the throb of a soul. He sang the selection through, and as the
melody died away the enraptured crowd held its breath to catch the last lingering note
of the enchanting refrain. When the last faint echo had gone the audience went wild
with applause. Who was this genius that swayed the audience at his will and whose
voice was far superior to even that of Caruso? As he made the last bow and was
about to pass out of sight it dawned upon me that this calm, self-possessed air and
steady look could belong to no one but Lawrence Moye.

This scene vanished as did the others, and I found myself wondering why
Lawrence had given up the study of medicine and was devoting his life to this line of
work, when the little witch said suddenly, "Look!"

I looked and saw an immense automobile gliding around the foot of a mountain.
The lines were long and straight and it was so highly polished it was almost dazzling.
Across the front of the radiator in prominent letters was "The Proctor." The car
came to a standstill and I could distinguish two figures, both on the front seat. The

driver stopped the engine and then opened the door for the other to alight. To my
astonishment I saw that the driver was a girl. She wore a dark tan suit. The skirt
was extremely short and the dark tan leggins extended to the knee. Her cap matched
the suit perfectly. After examining the car thoroughly, the two sat on the fender,
facing me. As they looked through what I supposed to be illustrated booklets of the
car I caught these words from the girl :

"The Proctor has greater endurance, ninety-five per cent more power and mechan-
ical simplicity than any other car on the market. It has no rival. Hundreds of
Proctors within the past six months have undergone long, grueling, cross-country
drives with honor. They have passed over great hill drives and long mountain climbs,
ploughed through mud and washouts and desert sands where other cars stall and stop.
During my experience as saleswoman I have sold the 'Jones,' the 'Lappin,' and the
'Randolph.' but none have the power of endurance, the dependability, that the 'Proc-
tor' has. You say you'll take the car?"

I looked at this girl more closely, and to my astonishment I found her to be
Ada Grey Dixon.

As this scene passed away I settled myself more comfortably and waited. I
knew that Mr. Perry was already a great minister, and I wondered what more the
future held in store for him.

A great throng of people suddenly appeared in the smoke and I looked more
closely to see where they were going, for they all seemed to be headed in the same
direction. It was night and all the streets were brilliantly lighted. At last I saw
their destination and the people were fairly pouring in. Over the entrance, in great
letters, which came and went with the flash of the many-colored lights, were these
words: "The Super Adorable Theater." Great posters were on the outside which
read: "Charlie Chaplin and Fatty Arbuckle Today" "Shown Here Wednesday, The
World's Greatest Dramatist, Edith Tickleback." The manager of this theater strutted
around with his hands in his pockets and a smile of supreme satisfaction radiated
from his face. As he came up and spoke to an elderly lady and showed her the
entrance I saw that this man was Mr. Perry. I was more than surprised at this
glimpse into his future, and I sat in wide-eyed wonder, anxious, yet almost afraid, to
see my own fate. I sat for several minutes in silence, waiting, wondering, and when
still nothing more appeared I turned a disappointed, questioning face to the little
witch. She was apparently very much amused, and when she saw my astonished look
she held her thin little sides with both hands and rolled off the little stool, uttering
peal after peal of laughter. At last she recovered her composure and patting me on
the head she said:

"Little lady, that's all."

The Argonauts

A ship was put in readiness

Just three short years ago;

To sail a trackless ocean

And fight an unnamed foe,

To drive the foe, if need should be.

From off this rough and misty sea.

IV.

Each day, each week, a stranger foe

Presents itself to view,

To test the strength and skillfulness

Of these, that valiant feiv,

Who man the ship they love so dear.

At any time, though death be near.

II.

The crew ivas small but willing

To sail this sea of life,

To contest any rival

That entered in the strife;

For all the members of this creiv

Lived by the motto, Die or do.

So on and o'er life's high ivaves
The ship has forced her way,
Striving, fighting, all the more
Until the final day,
When crew shall lay all armor down
And each receive a victor's crown.

III.

Into the mist the good ship steered,
Though foes were thick and strong,
But from the lips of this brave crew
Rang out the victor's song.
'Twos heard by all, both far and near.
On sailed the crew that knew no fear!

VI.

What is this ship whose flag floats high

And conquers e'er she goes?

Who is this brave and valiant crew

That o'ercomes all her foes?

You see her now, she's fought and ivon,

The Senior Class of Twenty-one.

J. B. T.

A. C. MEADOWS

Lynchburg, fa.

Alfred came to us this year from
Lynchburg I Va. I , and has been quite
an addition to our class. We find him a
preacher and a high school principal
and a diligent student, though at times
he has a way of ''getting through" while
others would fail. His college spirit is
exemplary and is characteristic of him.
If nothing prevents, he will receive his
merited degree next year.

"So, he gowned him.
Straight got thy Heart, that book to the last
page:

Learned we jonnd him"

MABEL LYNCH

Dunn, N. C.

No one can take the place of Mabel.
Thank you. Dunn, for sparing her. Com-
ing from our first chapel exercise in the
fall of '17, the question was rushed
among the old students "who is the tall
brunette wearing a red sweater?" Every
one wants to know her; she is the girl
for the occasion. The "Y. W.," the Hes-
perian Literary Society, the different
committees, and all social enterprises
have found that she means success.
Through the week her promptness, her
diligence, and her quietness prove her
a student; while at a Saturday night
social her inimitable smile, her beaming
eyes, and her comely air reveal her a
"general respected and admired by all
her forces." Her own ideals and her
esteem by others make her partially en-
vied, but fully admired and loved by all.
If originality, if keen intellect, and if a
strong personality mean anything, then
Mabel will mean something in the fu-
ture. To know her is to love her.

J. BATTLE TOMLINSON

Wilsons Mills, N. C.

"If aught of prophecy be mine,
Thou uilt not live in vain."

Although Battle is accused of being a
bit conceited, he is liked by everyone.
One of his prominent characteristics is
the art of doing things with apparently
no effort. As his poetry has already-
attracted attention, we are predicting for
him a brilliant future.

KATHLYN JACKSON

Washington, N. C.

Kathlyn's name has dwindled to
"Kat" since she came to us three years
ago. She is faithfully pursuing the
much coveted A.B. degree. In all col-
lege activities we find in her an ardent
supporter.

"No better expression of character
then this, 'a smile.' "

MARION B. BRISON

Arapahoe, N. C.

Marion is all to the good! He is one
of the most popular boys in college, and
is especially liked by the girls. He is
also a true optimist — staying happy
himself and making other folk that way.

"He had a head to contrive, a tongue to
persuade, anil hand to execute."

ANNA CULLENS MOORE

Rural Hall, N. C.

"None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise."

After learning her A B C's in the
graded school at Rural Hall, Anna came
to us in 1917 to crowd into four short
years what most students are proud to
accomplish in five. She has a fondness
for candy, especially the "Lemon" va-
riety, and as for pets she favors the
"Wolff."

GLADYS FOUST

Wilson, N. C.

Gladys came to us in the fall of 1916
with numerous talents to develop. Al-
though she is a town pupil, she gives
much of her time to student activities.
She excels in Mathematics, charms us
with her violin, and displays her artistic
temperament in many striking posters
and cartoons, for truly

"Thought and Affliction, Passion, Hell itselj.
She turns to iavor and to prettiness."

History of Junior Class

In view of the fact that we are dignified Juniors, and will take the distinguished
place of the Seniors next year, we feel that the history of our class should be known.
It isn't to be a long one, but it is very important.

In our Freshman year we were one of the best all-round classes that had ever
entered A. C. College. There were not less than twenty-five of us (green as grass, I
must admit I, but full of pep and college spirit. It seems that many of that class
were full of nothing more than pep and college spirit; for when examination papers
were given back some of the grades made on trigonometry and French made us realize
to the fullest extent that we were thoroughly "Fresh." In spite of all that the Sopho-
more Class of 1918 and '19 had twelve members. We had found out in our first year
that college life was a great deal more than fun; so we came back with a motto,
"Over the Top," ringing in our ears. Very little was accomplished the first half of
our Sophomore year, for the time was divided up equally between the S. A. T. C. boys
and the influenza; but during the second half we strove to bring out the best that was
in us. And at the end we won. Our class today has only seven members; but what
members! As fine a bunch of students as ever entered the halls of A. C. College.
All seven members have worked diligently throughout the whole year, and have taken
the leading parts in all athletic, religious and social affairs of the college. In the
debating contest to be held between the two societies, out of the six debaters, three of
them are from our class. This goes to show our ability along that line. The
President of our Y. W. C. A., Mabel Lynch, and Editor-in-Chief of The Radiant,
Marion Brinson, also come from the Junior Class.

"Watch us win!" We are all coming back next year, prepared to do a much
harder year's work than at any time before. We have come to realize to the fullest
extent what one has to tread through before he reaches the top rounds of success.
Our aim is to make the Class of 1921 the very best class that has ever left Atlantic
Christian College and "Watch us win!"

Kathlyn Jackson, Historian.

Sophomore Class History

Never more proudly did the Freshman colors float over the college campus than
when the "Freshies" poured forth in September, 1918. There were about forty of us
to furnish jokes for all the college and all the society papers. We knew well that the
first day of April was the most appropriate time to "cut" "Freshman English" and
"Freshman Math." In spite of the fact "Flu" and the abnormal conditions resulting
from the presence of the S.A.T.C., somewhat abated the usual college spirit, we made
our influence and special talents recognized; for it was from our class that the left-
fielder for the baseball team, the captain for the basket-ball team, and the mess ser-
geant for the S.A.T.C., were chosen. In keeping with the abnormal times, it was only
logical that this class, as a whole, should go on record as having led all previous
Freshman classes of the institution in thorough work, in athletics, and in leadership.

In September, 1919, only seven of us were fortunate enough to return for matricu-
lation. Early in October we met and effected a class organization, with the following
enthusiastic members as officers: Mary Irma Moore, President; Annie Christine
Whitley, Vice-President, and Grady Spiegel, Secretary-Treasurer. The other four
members are Bernice McLlwean, Lloyd Thompson Brinson, Mabel Elizabeth Galloway
and Nell Whitehead Moye. Influenced by the fine record of last year, and stirred by
the New World challenge for trained men and women, we entered this year with
renewed ambition to follow the upward road. The basket-ball team, realizing this
enthusiasm, reelected Lloyd captain. He was also chosen President of the Athletic
Association. Two members of the class found places on The Radiant staff. Christine,
better known as "Teeny," showed such literary enthusiasm and ability that she was
elected President of the Alethian Literary Society for the second semester. We passed
triumphantly all of our mid-term examinations.

Our happy little band was broken at the beginning of the second semester, when
Bernice was called suddenly home. This was a loss to the class; but, spurred on by
the "ties that bind," we have determined to win such fame and honor as become
Sophomores. Two members of the class are to help represent the Alethian and the
Hesperian Literary Societies in the annual debate. Thus, with mingled joy and
sorrow, success and failure, we have mounted two rounds of the ladder of education:
we are reaching on and on toward the higher goal of '22, believing that "the best is
yet to be."

Sophomore Class Poem

Up! up! my friends, and quit your dreams,

Or surely we'll not win.
Up! up! my friends, and make your schemes,

For we have webs to spin.
The sun is high and still we loiter

In the same indifferent way;
While others seek the distant goal,

Shall we do as they say?
Up! Shall we not gird our armor strong.

And increase our courage, too,
While we work with a cheerful song.

Showing them what we can do?

Think! think! dear comrades so brave and true,

Of things yet to be done.
Think! think! of the rivers others swam through

And the races they have won.
They plunged in and down, down they went,

Till they thought hope was gone;
Then, when their courage was nearly spent,

There gleamed a light, as at morn.
Patience, courage — no one must these sell,

Nor yet give them away;
Necessary they are to run a race well,

Tools for our use today.

Now! now! let us up and be doing

Each little task so well.
Now! now! is no lime to be losing,

Unless success we'd sell.
So crowd in the fun and frolic and work —

Tomorrow may be too late.
For never a duty must we shirk,

But go on at a steady gait.
We'll be true to ourselves and set the pace

And work ivith an end in view,
And shoiv to the world with a smiling face

W hat a bunch of Sophs can do!

c.w.

Ring! Ring the bells that all may know,
Tell the news where er you go.
Let everyone be happy and gay.
Thrilling with joy in work or play.
But why should all so happy be?
To welcome the Class of '23.

Love! Love! Oh Class of '23,

Love thy brother, and willing be

To lend a hand to young and old,

While steadily watching the shining goal.

But why should "Love" your motto be?

Because you've promised, Oh '23!

Work! Work and show what you can do;
Labor and Love the whole day through.
Strive for the best, nor be content

But why should "Labor" your motto be?

Laugh! Laugh, and others will happy be;
Smile when the way you cannot see.
Laugh and be happy, joyous and gay.
Cheering others along Life's way.
But why should you laugh and happy be?
Because you've promised, Oh '23!

"Love, Labor, and Laugh.' that all may know
The Class of '23 where'er it go.
This motto before you always keep,
Whether on the heights or in valleys deep.

Oh '23! Oh '23!

High School Class History

When the nine-o'clock bell sounded on the morning of September 9th there came
tripping across the campus from all directions a motley host. At first the observer
thought of Coxey's Army, and then of John Brown's raid, but finally she settled on to
the conviction that it was the "embryonic" Class of 1920. Later in the day these
"students" were all busy pouring into the ears of the three members of the registration
committee tales of their prowess in the Grades and Junior High.

We also had many original and bright ideas which have since oozed out of our
finger tips.

Time does not permit us to tell with what misgivings we first rode a "pony" or
tried a "cut," but practice in these arts soon brought us near to perfection. Surely it
requires some training to know how to bluff the faculty, and "ad interim" we flunked
disastrously.

Now, as Senior, the common herd, as a whole, acknowledge our greatness; we are
able to make the Freshies "bite the dust," the Sophomores "sharpen their wits on the
grindstone," and the Juniors "acknowledge us the master mind."

No Goddess of Mathematics, All-pervading Essence of Culture or Formulator of
Rules and Regulations, has been able to inspire terror in our souls; even these, the
so-called tyrants, have been forced to acknowledge our superior intellects.

Some have failed on account of love affairs of plain "flunking," for in the affairs
of the heart we have reigned supreme. Cupid has stolen into our flock and cast his
dart through Thelma Proctor's flintlike heart. Though this is leap year, our boys as
yet do not seem to have suffered.

We cannot imagine what awful results will happen to all the activities when we
are gone, but we hope that our example may inspire our successors to do the best they
are able with their feeble efforts.

When we consider the personnel of the class we realize that it is most fearfully
and wonderfully made.

It would, of course, require volumes to give the many achievements that have
distinguished the different members of our class, but it will suffice to mention a few.

Timothy Washington Bowen, an early native of Pinelown, or thereabouts, startled
the natives with his unusual wisdom. He decided to come up to A.C.C. and impart
this valuable information to the faculty, who now have seen fit to reward him by
conferring upon him the honorary degree, P-h-i-z.

Hillary Thomas Bowen, son of a Washington County farmer, was brought up
among the corn rows, with the pumpkins. He developed poetitis when quite young,
and was sent to A.C.C.H.S., where it was hoped he would be relieved of this malady
by learning to sing. The result has been intense suffering for his fellowmen who live
within earshot.

Farmville, a little wide place in the road, down in Pitt County, is the home of
two most bold and daring characters: Milton James Moye, noted for his astounding
progress in geometry, and Ada Grey Dixon, famed for her heart-crushing record won
during a six-year pilgrimage at A.C.C, where she has sung all her suitors into
oblivion.

Way down in Pamlico County where they raise malaria and "taters," two of the
most brilliant members of our class were born. One, Zebulon Ewart Brinson (not
brimstone), on December 20th, in the latter part of the nineteenth century; the other,
Archie Reel, on or about the Fourth of July, sixteen years before we went over and
licked the Kaiser Bill. Both these boys are noted for their ability in biscuit slinging
in the Boys' Dormitory.

So modest and retiring that she hesitates to give any information so personal as
her age, Nettie Noble came from Deep Run several years ago, and has meandered
through these stately halls, storing away in her mature mind the knowledge that stale
books and staler teachers would allow her to assimilate.

Wilson has furnished us with two members: Charles Douglas Culpepper, born in
1902, showed his superior mentality, like the poet Coleridge, by sitting alone and
noticing things when he was four years old. His father runs a garage in order to
furnish Doug with automobiles, which he uses to take Dean Smith and Jess Holliday
for a spin on sunny evenings. And Myrtle May King, a winsome little lady who
always did surpass every other member in her classes, has not failed even this year to
demonstrate her intellectual ability in every branch of known and unknown study.
But sorry to say she has so far failed to develop a love affair.

Because of her congeniality, Verna Belle Haskins has become quite a favorite
among all the girls at A.C.C. Since joining our class she has had many "knocks" but
no "slaps," and, so far as her classmates know, she has "kept the even tenor of her
way." Verna Belle hails from Kinston, N. C, a sister town of Wilson.

Lewis Smith, the member of our class who does not have to ask for blessings but
can reach up and take them, says that he was born in 1900 in Wilson County. Some
thought him timid at first, and he may be, but he has succeeded in winning the atten-
tion of Miss Mary Moore.

Fannie Marie Batts, a member of our class, came to us since our Christmas holi-
days from Whitakers High School, and has already won our affections by her
winsome ways.

Susie Mildred Dixon, a modest child, who received her early training at Hooker-
ton, came this year to put on some finishing touches at A.C.C. She has already suc-
ceeded in showing her special interest in mathematics, and probably will not always
lead her classes, but also some day succeed her present teacher, Miss Fannie Harper.

Mary Elizabeth Elmore says she was born in 1899, and came from way down there
at the jumping-off place about ten miles from Goldsboro. She is naturally not very
bright, consequently she works very hard to make her passing grades. No doubt she
will convince the world, unless she has a husband, that Woman Suffrage is right. At
any rate, she is preparing speeches to that effect already.

We do not believe, as a rule in encouraging faculties to entertain any very exalted
notions as to their importance, but in the present instance we gladly admit our debt of
gratitude to those teachers who have worked so prodigiously to give us a good founda-
tion of knowledge. And we realize that it is due, not to our own skill as climbers,
but to the fact that they took us firmly by the shoulders when we slipped and dragged
us bodily to safe ground, that at last we have attained this dizzy height from which we
can occasionally glimpse, when the clouds break away, the promised land beyond
Graduation Day.

Mary Elizabeth Elmore.

Class Poem High School, 1920

Before beginning this melreless rhyme,

I'd like to take a bit of your time

To thank you for the honor conferred on me —

"Poet of the graduating class to be."

And I hope my duty may do

With credit to myself and honor to you.

Poets are born, not made, 'tis said,

But I am only a poet maid.

And with the muse only slightly connected,

So if my rhyme is bad it's only expected;

You'll consider the source from whence it came,

And remember I'm quite young at the poetry game.

Now, just what a class poem should be

Is a theme I'll admit is quite beyond me.

But I guess of course it would be the right thing

To wish you all the good that time may bring.

But I'll follow the old and well beaten track

And at each member of the class take a crack,

And point out their faults and foibles to you.

To start the thing off and get it to going,

We'll begin with our President, Hilary Bowen.

The next to whom I'll call your attention

Is the good looking popular Zebulon Brinson.

Tim Bowen is learning to preach and to spiel.

But he'll never be as favored as Archie Reel.

The sweet little wee bit of a boy

Is the cute and smart Milton Moye.

Douglas Culpepper and Louis If hitehcad

Are the sports of the class, so 'tis said.

How true this is we really don't know,

But we'll leave them now and to the girls we'll go.

And a sweeter lot can't be jound

If you search the whole wide world around.

The name that is most popular far and away

Is that of Jess, for it's Holiday.

Annie Ruth Jones is pretty, quiet, and good,

And loved by all, so 'tis understood.

Ada Grey Dixon is a Senior in Voice,

And the sweet singer of the class by choice.

Then there is Susie Dixon,

She's as smart a girl as your eyes can "fix-on."

'Tis a saying you have heard often before,

Give one an inch they will want an "Elmore."

So that is the way it is with all here

Who have been with Mary at school this year.

Miss Verna Belle Haskin is clever and cute,

And is very popular, is college repute.

Here are the favorites, to whom we take off our hats,

Nettie Nobles and Fannie Baits'.

In fact, this whole class has virtues most rare.

And with the classes of yore most favorably compare.

And we bid them God-speed on their journey of life —

May they have all its joys and escape all its strife.

Myrtle Mae King.

The Happy Day

The College Dramatic Club

In the fall of 1918 the Expression students of A.C.C. organized themselves into
a cluh known as "The College Dramatic Cluh." Pink and Green were chosen as the
club colors.

During the year many delightful informal programs were given in the club-room,
decorated for the occasion to carry out the color scheme. An hour of social enjoy-
ment always followed these informal programs. At other times more formal pro-
grams were given in the auditorium to large and attentive audiences. In the spring of
1919 these plays appeared on some of the formal programs:

The Obstinate Family;

The Arrival of Penelope;

The Superior Sex;

The Proposal Under Difficulties.

The plays and readings contributed by the club played a large part in the com-
mencement program.

During the winter and spring months of this year several miscellaneous programs
have been given, and among the plays the following have been presented:

The Happy Day;
The Scheme That Failed;
Local and Long Distance;
Love of a Bonnet.

Artistic drills have been given from time to time. Among them, The Changing
of the Seasons.

Two of the members of this club gave their Senior recitals in April and will
graduate from the School of Expression in May.

Though very different, they are both true blue.

How dear in these years it's becometh to me!

You can hear him rejoicing when others are dumb.

II il wasn't for each other what would they do?

To see her look happy is really a treat.

Athletics

Athletics will go at A.C.C. Our college is young and has not yet
been able to develop teams to cope equally with older and bigger
colleges of the State. Then, too, our athletics has been stunned by the
reluctance on the part of some to see the value in it. But it is now clear
that physical endurance is the only safe basis for intellectual ability.
This was recognized by the Greeks thirty centuries ago; the Olympian
games, consisting of foot races, boxing and wrestling, were nationalized
and held every fourth year; and Grecian youth never received a higher
honor than the victor's crown at the contests. In Sparta, physical
training reached a high pitch ; the lad endured the winter with but one
shirt; took his night's rest on a bundle of river reeds; and went before
the scourging master at regular intervals. We are not too proud to
take a lesson from the ancients. We left last year expecting to play
real games this year. On our return we felt that a damper had been
turned on by the loss of Lappin. But soon we heard from Meadows;
and his enthusiasm explained his bald head. Our boys and girls were
called out and they rallied to the new leader. It was seen that we had
talent; teams were picked; and real play began. So far (February,
1920) our teams have brought home the laurels over half the time.
Come back, old players, and enjoy the rally next year! Come on, new
ones, and be in the fun!

A Midsummer Night Tragedy

Not a long lime to come, I remember it well,
Alongside a poor house a maiden did dwell.
She lived with her father, her life was serene,
Her age it was red, and her hair was seventeen.

II.

This maid had a lover who near by did dwell,
A cross-legged ruffian and bow-eyed as well.
Said he, "Let's fly by the light of yon star.
For you are the eye of my apple, you are."

Ill

"Oh, no!" said the maiden; "be cautious and wise,
My father will scratch out your nail with his eyes.
And if you but love me, don't bring me disgrace!"
Said the maiden, as she buried her hands in her face.

IV.

Then the bold lover knocked the maid,
And cautiously drew out the knife of his blade.
He cut the fond throat of the maiden so fair,
Then dragged her around by the head of her hair.

Then the fond father appeared to appear
And gazed on that scene with eyes in his tear.
He knelt down beside her, her fair face he kissed,
Then he rushed his nose at the murder's fist.

VI.

Then the sad father said, "Villain, you bolt!''
He drew out a horse pistol, 'twas raised from a colt.
Said the lover, "I'll die if I stay, it is true!"
Said he. "Til fly!" and he flew up the flu!

End. (Exit lover.)

The Fellowship Club is an organization of ministers and ministerial students
connected with the college. It is an association for the purpose of having a closer
fellowship with each other. In its meetings each week it is a part of our program to
discuss the problems that each minister encountered on the preceding Sunday of the
preceding week. A report of each one's work and accomplishments is made. A
number of very good addresses by ministers from diilerent parts of the State have
been given at our meetings.

An Extract From

The Clashing of Forces

By J. M. Perry

At the dawning of human history man emerges out of the shrouded night and
mysterious, mantled shades of mysticism that lie just this side of that unfathomable,
impregnable "in the beginning God created," and stages the introductory act before
God's recording camera, leaves his never-fading impress on the canvass of time, dis-
turbs the equilibrium of the mighty seismograph divinely tuned to the life of the
world, and in his primitive struggle with the forces of evil discovers his self-insufli-
ciency, falls before the sweltering blow of the beguiler's satanic power, and rises only
when heartened by the comforting assurance that victory is born in defeat, on broader
fields shall the battle be fought, a bruising, withering stroke shall foil the tempter's
snare, and the seed of the woman shall break the poison fang and bruise the serpent's
head.

The omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, only one true, living and loving God,
who slumbers not nor sleeps, is not forgetful ot the majestic image and divine likeness
of His own creation, and before the "Father of Lies," "The Old Serpent, the Devil,"
the despotic, gloating assassin of the human race, can count his victim out, a com-
passionate Father pulls the lever of His love, breaks up the fountain of His grace,
and man stands again on the forum of hope in the arena of the world, rejuvenated by
the embryonic stir of consciousness and the faint intimation of the prejudice and
alliance of God on the side of humanity and against the formidable foe in tbe struggle
of life, and though too far down the vista of centuries for adequate expression, he
confidently hopes that the divine ultimatum shall be the appropriating of the bruises,
wounds and stripes where they can most assuredly be borne — that love may find a way
and make a compatible expiation. (Omnia vlncit amor.) "Love conquers all things."

Whatever may be the conjecture as to the primitive intellectual and spiritual
endowment or development of mankind and his ability to rise to such lofty anticipa-
tions, no doubt can arise as to the foreknowledge and magnanimous purpose of the
One whose image he bore.

The long, devious paths from Eden to Calvary were outdistanced only by the
providential certainty of the world's Redeemer, and in all the meandering vicissitudes
of human experience God has been over all, the path and range-finder of the human
race. Reverses have checkered the way. but their relative potentialities have rather
sharpened the metal of the aspiring souls of men and militated to the upward stride
and steady pull of civilization, true religion and Christianity. If the ebb has been as
great as the flow, surely justice and mercy, love and divine truth have ever ridden on
the crest of the wave.

It is more than a passing coincidence that Moses, out of his limited experience
and meek existence, should set the master minds of all ages in a furore and sink a
shaft to the very tap-root of the "a priori" of the universe; and astronomers, geolo-
gists, botanists, zoologists and biologists of the universities and laboratories of the
world still oscillate around the pole-star of the flash of his pen. As God's great scribe
he sounds a note on the first cause of things that is fundamental and indispensible to
the faith of the world. Fundamental, because it serves as a bed-rock on which the
whole fabric of revelation rests, and indispensable because it makes all subsequent
scriptures intelligible. Its priority in time and material may account for the malign
thrust of the destructive critic and the faithless gore of the infidel's dagger, and.

106

happily, perhaps, for the unswerving stand through the long black night of the Dark
Ages by the heroic defenders of the faith.

The armies in the field are by no means the most potent forces that be, but the
agents of defense and aggression. They may be succeeding all along the line while
the forces that made them be waning. Likewise, viewed from immediate results, the
arch enemy of man would be the master of the world, for he won in the first great
struggle; but it was a clashing of forces and not decided on the strength of the agent.
It was Good against Evil, Infinite against Finite. Spirit against Flesh, Heaven against
Hell. Divinity against Demon, and God against the Devil.

The world marches on, keeping step to the discordant, clanking clashing, and
however divergent has been the paths, the major forces intersect once more in the
darkness of Gethsemane. The forces of evil strike hard at the signal war-whoop of
the traitor within. The cross they uplifted became the standard of the world. While
they wrote. "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," the bodiless hand that penciled
Belshazzar's doom wrote '"Lord and Christ" on the heart of the world. Their dead
King became "King of Kings" and the spiritual force and the ethical life of men.
Standards, systems, isms and cisms are changed at His word, and in His commission
there is power, power to enable the least of His apostles to stand on the Areopagus, in
the intellectual center of civilized men, smash through the stoic and epicurean schools,
and recast the philosophy and thought of the world.

Extempore Jabs

By J. M. Perry

It's easy enough to act civil

When everybody 's treating you white;

But it's hard to smile while writing the check
For the tailor who made 'em too tight.

It's easy enough to be cheery,

Parading in Government clothes;
But it's hard to sing, mucking 'round in the trench.

With hand-grenades flattening your nose.

It's easy enough to fill dates,

When "Prof." don't know you're gone;
But it's hard to gel by, matters not how you try,

When you make them over the phone.

It's easy enough to answer

When asked. Do you like country ham?
But it's hard to answer every time dead right.

When taking your final "Zam."

It's easy enough to cut capers,

And go buzzing 'round like a bee;
But it's hard to preach with such power and force

That you'll honor old A.C.C.

A.C.C. Alumni Gossip

Doc

Speaking of llie different ways in which a long journey on ihe — - Railroad

on a hot summer day has been turned into a pilgrimage of pleasure, when a trip of
hardship only had been anticipated, recalls to my mind a very surprisingly pleasant
trip I had last summer.

The day was very hot, and dust mingled with coal cinders was sifting through
the windows of the pullman to a stifling degree. I stood on the back of the pullman
as the train rolled out of , little thinking that anyone I knew entered the pull-
man. Upon returning to my seat, a young army officer sat in the other half of the reser-
vation. I noticed the insignia of his division, and noticed he wore service chevrons
for overseas duty. The young man was reading a magazine, so did not look up
until I asked him about certain points in France at which his division was active.
Upon looking up I recognized beneath the coal of tan and soldier brown an old
college mate, whose name, if mentioned, few who have ever known A.C.C. would
fail to recall multiplied events in every phase of college activities in which this
young soldier had played the leading role. Mutual exclamations of delight followed
our recognition of each other.

Both of us were "fed up" on war and the A.E.F. for that time, so after a brief
statement each as to the part we had played in the Great War and our different points
of action, and the like, we turned to the discussion of our future plans. But there was
litlle interest in this, so we began talking of happy days on the old campus when life
had not been burdened with hard realities and the human heart had not been scarred
by the iron grasp of the cruel war. Soon, in the relating of instances of happiness
and what seemed to the college student hardships, but which in looking back now
were only amusing incidents, the long marches through the shell-furrowed fields of
France, the "corn Willie," the taste of which had not fully departed, the dusty,
smoky train and the midsummer oppressive heat were all forgot and we were living
again in the good old college halls, our ears were ringing to the dear old college
yells and songs, and we were again reviewing the grand old campus scenes with old
friends who seemed to come in and travel with us again.

'"What has become of all of the old crowd?" my companion asked.

"Well, that depends on which crowd you refer to," I replied.

"Suppose we begin from the early days," he suggested.

"Fine!" I said. "The best I see is to take the alumni and others straight
through."

My former college mate said, "The first class graduated was in 1903, was it not?"

"Yes," I replied. "W. H. Mizell, who has ever been a successful teacher and is
now a prosperous newspaper man; Ada Tyson, now Mrs. J. Y. Swain of Henderson,

116

N. C, and Prof. Glen G. Cole of Bethany, West Virginia, were the first graduates to
ever step from the A.C.C. rostrum. In their chosen work credit has been reflected
on the college, too."

"Well, who was the one girl graduated in 1905? She was from Avden and had a
boy's name?"

''Oh, yes! Jimmie Davis."

'"That's the girl. What has become of her?"

"Oh, she is married. Her name is Mrs. R. F. Pillman."

"By the way, did you ever know Rosa Moore and Mary Moye?" he asked.
"They were very popular in college. I've lost sight of them in late years, but have
often thought about them."

"Why, yes, I know Rosa is still in Farmville. and Mary has been married for
three or four years."

"Well, what has become of that first big class that went out in 1907 — all girls?
Let's see if I can recall who all of them are. May Anderson was one."

"She is still May Anderson," I said.

"I used to hear from May once in a while, but this army game has put me out of
touch with all old-time friends very largely."

"I believe she is in Washington, D. C. in Government work now," I said.

"Wasn't Daphne Carraway in that group?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Where is she?"

"She teaches in Wilson and does some chautauqua work, too, I think."

"There were about three girls from Kinston in that class," he reminded me.
"Let's see if I can recall them — "

"I'm wise to the Kinston constituency," I replied with enthusiasm. "Ruth
Howard, Mary Mosely and Hattie Daily are the ones you have in mind."

"Yes. What has become of them?"

"Ruth Howard and Clay Andrews have been married for years. And Mary
Mosely married Loins of her home town, and still lives there. Hattie Daily is still
enjoying single blessedness and substituting in the Kinston school as teacher."

"How about Eliza Kennedy?" my companion asked. "She was very popular
during our college days."

"Yes," I said, "and very talented. She is married. She married Von Dillon of
LaGrange. You knew her sister Lucy — the really pretty girl in that group?"

"Yes," he replied. "Guess I did know her. She was in the bunch who helped
to tie the teachers on one April Fool's Day. Lucy married Harry Hodges and they
are very prosperous in Belhaven."

"Another girl in that group was Sally Brooks. I have recently found that she
was working with a big banking house in Washington, D. C, and is still single. Two
others of this group are happily married. Clyde Farmer married Palmer Harris
and they lived in Wilson. Elma Basnight married Hurbert Lupton of New Bern.
They are now living in Tarboro."

"There is another girl that seems to me used to be in that crowd — the girl who
used to help Miss Day with Art —

117

"Nell Kell of Farmville?"

"That's her."

"She is still there, and single, I think."

"There is one former student I'd like to get trace of. This is Bessie Wilkinson,
who graduated in Music in 1908. She graduated at the same time Leon Edgerton
graduated in Voice."

"Leon married a fellow by the name of Grizzard and now lives in Kenly."

"I'll tell you what class had a strong element in it — the class in which C. Manly
Morton graduated," continued the old College Chum. "What has become of them?"

"C. Manly has made a high mark," I informed. "He is now a missionary to
Paraguay, South America, with an enviable record."

"How about some of the others?" my companion asked.

"Well," I replied, "Sallie Wilson is still single and holds a Government position
in Washington, D. C."

"You remember the rather stout girl who played the piano like a hurricane —
Mable Jones?" broke in my fellow passenger.

"Yes. She's married and lives in Charleston. Sue Yelverton married Dr. Eagles,
who has a lucrative practice near Wilson, and Elizabeth Eagles is now Mrs. Smith
and lives near Walstonburg. Mary Edwards taught Expression at the college one
year — lost sight of her before leaving for France."

"Then," mused my companion, "those were days of real fun. Society spirit ran
high, athletics boomed and real sports were around the old campus. That 1909,
'10 and '11 group were all a bunch of regulars."

"Yes," I said. "You knew Ersie Walker? She married a fellow named Neeley
and lives in Selma, Alabama. Julia Farmer teaches English at Massey's Business
College, Richmond; Rosa Taylor still lives in Wilson; Annie Barrett is now Mrs.
Charles Arrington and lives in Rocky Mount; Kathlyn Wallace is married and still
at Jonesville; Lela Flowers is now Mrs. J. A. Stickland of Norfolk; Verdie Noble has
been in bad health; she is still single and lives with her parents near Kinston — a fine
girl, too."

"Well, what has happened to Lossie Davis, Harriett Settle, and all that group of
girls who played a high hand in college affairs?" he asked.

"Matrimony struck two of them," I answered. "Harriett Settle is now Mrs. B. B.
Plyler of Wilson and Mattie is now Mrs. Eugene Wood of Kinston."

"Where is Lossie?" he broke in.

"Do not know. Think she is still single and living in Lucama. Georgia How-
ard, Elsie Gardner, Carrie Deans and Estelle Griffin are all in Wilson yet, as far as I
know. I run across some one of them occasionally."

"You recall the 1912 class?" he said. "Small but very strong."

"Yes," I answered.

"Ever hear anything of them?"

"I met J. J. Walker out in Tennessee a few days ago. Kenneth Bowen is pastor
of a church in New York now."

"Where is Horace Settle?" I was asked.

118

"Horace and Agnes Spain were married several years ago. Horace is in bad
health. Quit the ministry and is in business with his father-in-law. Tell you
another good group of students that count A.C.C. as their Alma Mater," I suggested.

"Who are they?"

"Susie Grey Woodard; she is now Mrs. Luther Tomlinson of Wilson."

"Well, how about that girl who could paint so well?" he asked.

"Lillie Hewitt?" I informed: "She is still out about {Catherine Lake. You
remember the girl with red hair and such a brilliant mind?"

"Sallie Bridges?"

"Yes," I answered. "She is now Mrs. Henry Scott; lives at Elm City. Tell you
another girl that was fine: Eunice Andrews; she is now Mrs. Mosley. Elsie Langley
was in that same class. She was brilliant, too. Lives at Elm City still, I think."

"Let's see — your's was the Class of '14, was it not?" queried my friend.

"Yes," I said. "Among others, in the class were Ben Oden. Don't know how
he is getting along. You remember Blanche Wells? She was in my class also, and
is now teaching in Wilson."

"How about the little girl from Kinston who was the artist?" I was asked.

'You mean Velma Harrington?" I asked. "She is now Mrs. W. S. Tucker and
lives near Greenville. Elsie Pugh is also married, I've heard. Married a tobacconist
in Greenville."

"Where is Alice Privette?" he asked.

"Alice," I answered, "is the only member of the alumni to be reported dead.
She was a noble type of womanhood, too. That Class of 1915 was a good one, too.
\ou knew most of them in their homes?"

"Yes," the answer came. "I remember a number of them. Henrietta Moye —
where is she?"

"At home in Farmville; taught a few years."

"And how about Fannie?"

"Teaching at the college and as loyal as any student who ever left our halls,"
I replied.

"How about Bess and Hattie Hodges?"

"They are teaching around LaGrange and living at home. Jessie Hodges, Mary
Belle Smith and Lill Chapman were also members of that class."

"There were a bunch of girls who went out in 1916 with only two men in the
class. They were a representative crowd of graduates."

"Yes," I interrupted," I know all of them. Willa Chestnut, she lives in Wash-
ington, D. C, now; Sallie Hadley married recently; Fannie Manning is still at her
home in Williamston and a loyal supporter of A.C.C; Irma Cannon is still in Ayden;
Meta Harrington's home is now in Clayton and so far as I know she is still there;
Jessie Hodges took her A.B. with that class; Sam Jones is at his home; Ruth Whitley
is as enthusiastic as ever for the college; Ruth Hardy, I guess, lives in Georgia;
"Bro. Joel" finished in Expression that year and continued for his A.B. — graduated
last spring and is now at Vanderbilt. And, by the way, he is married, also. Eliza-
beth Kinsey is with her parents in LaGrange and is a very popular girl among a host
of friends."

119

"Well," remarked my friend, after this breathless narrative of the Class of '16,
"you surely have a close 'tab' on the old students of A.C.C. Wonder if you know as
much about the Classes of '17 and '18?"

I smiled acknowledgment, as I had just come in contact with a number of those
classes. "Sadler, you know," I started as my companion settled back in the corner
of the dusty seat, satisfied that he would get a good line on the rest of the college
alumni, "returned to Wilson the year after he and Hattie Mewborne were married and
graduated, both of them with the A.B. degree; they later spent a year in Vanderbilt,
where Lee made a splendid record as a student. I did hear where Clem Bridges was
located, but I do not recall now. Mary Richardson is still at her South Carolina
home, as well as Maude Russell. I lost sight of H. M. Ainsley, but think he is still
teaching; quite a capable fellow. Clair Hodges and Ernest Paschal are to be married
this fall, I have heard. Be a good match, too. Ernest is destined to make a good
mark, all right. Ella Hackney was a fine student; she still lives in Wilson and is still
loyal to the college. Maude Bowen is at her home in Belhaven; her time is divided
between teaching, acting in capacity of organist at First Christian Church, and having
a good time. Juanita Crocket is to be married soon, and Bonila Wolff is teaching in
the college. Most of the 1918 class were rather new to me. Lehman Carawan," I
continued, "is now in Alabama. The Clay girls are at their home in Beckley, West
Virginia. Nell Krise teaches Domestic Science at the college, and her sister Carrie is
married — now Mrs. J. H. Shrewsberry of Logan, West Virginia. 'Abe' Mattox and
his brother Tom are both in Vanderbilt, doing good work for which they are expecting
to get Master's degrees. Agnes Peele is now office secretary at the college, and John
Waters is now developing a splendid rural church work near New Bern and meeting
with much success. As for the class of this spring, I know Joel Vause and Magruder
Sadler graduated. Joel, as I stated, is married, and Magruder is willing to be to a
very fine girl down in my section of the State."

"Well, what about yourself?" came the unexpected question.

"Oh," I remarked indifferently, "I will first get out of this man's army, then I
guess I'll settle back in my former work. Hide away in bachelor quarters, do the
best I can in my own line of work, and watch the rest of my old friends commit
matrimony and launch upon an open sea of bliss."

About that time the porter came through calling, " — next slop; change

trains for ." My friend and I reaching the parting of the ways. We arose,

expressed mutual satisfaction over the happy incident which had thrown us together
on a long journey. Both were delighted that glimpses into the old life, before the
sobering days of the war intervened, could be had. We had forgotten shot and shell,
camp life, long marches, battle roar, and all their accompaniments. We shook hands
with hopes to meet again and parted at the close of a day with our minds so filled
with college days, college friends and campus scenes that we felt as though we were
living again in a world that had been deluged but suddenly reappearing just as it had
formerly existed. Each of us, too, were seized with a longing for early reunions of
former college and class mates as through our minds (lilted pictures of scenes now
sad, now gay, but welcomed regardless of their nature.

"The Wranglers"

One of the livest organizations of A.C.C. is "The Wranglers." This club is com-
posed of nine members. Prof. F. F. Grim is indeed fortunate in being the only
honorary member; "while the active members are Selma Perkins, Christine Whitley,
Anna Moore, Lottie Wilson, Marion Brinson, Lawrence Moye, Alfred Meadows, and
Mabel Lynch.

The meetings are held every Thursday evening at 6:30. Under Mr. Grim's
leadership, the first half hour is spent in a valuable discussion of parliamentary law.
Believing with Burke that "Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at
no other," The Wranglers spend the rest of the hour in "putting into practice" the
many things learned. This is all done with the hope of gaining sufficient practice in
properly conducting public assemblies with no violation of parliamentary law.

The purpose of this organization is training in clear thinking and practice in the
simple, straightforward expression of one's thoughts. Realizing that they are here
for the purpose of preparing themselves for efficient citizenship, The Wranglers strive
to respect the opinions of all people who differ with them; but, on the other hand, to
make no statement or accept any which cannot be supported by sufficient evidence.

Then, shall we not prophesy truly if we say some of the future lawyers, congress-
men, congresswomen, and debaters of the "Old North State" will be so as the result of
their work with The Wranglers?

"A C C "

With apologies to Kipling

By the old and moss-grown building, lookin eastward to the street,
There's a fair-haired girl a-settin, an I know she thinks o" meat;
For the wind is in the pine trees, an the electric bells they call,
"Come you, back, you truant maiden; come you back to study hall."

Come you back to study hall,

Where are watchful teachers all!
Cant you hear their feet a-trampin' from their rooms into the hall?

In the halls of A.C.C.,

Where the students ever be,
An the "Prof" comes up like thunder outer classroom where sits she.

'Er middy lie was yeller an 'er little cap was green,

An er name ivas "I-can'l-do-it" — )es the same it's always been,

An I seed 'er fust a-grinnin an a-havin heaps d fun,

An a-wastin all 'er energy on a monstrous piece o' gum —

Gum she bought at Barnes' store,

But she won l buy any more.
Mighty lot she cared for gum, when the supper bell it rung,

In the halls of A.C.C.,

Where the students ever be,
An the "Prof" comes up like thunder outer classroom where sits she.

With the students on the campus an the sun a-droppin low,
She'd git 'er Ukulele an she'd sing "Kullalo-lo!"
With er hand upon 'er "ukie" an eye upon the street,
She useter watch the teachers for the boys she wish to meet,

Boys that strolled along the street,

Oh, the boys she longed to meet!
Where the teachers walked so faithful with their never wearied feel.

In the halls of A.C.C.,

Where the students ever be,
An' the "Prof" comes up like thunder outer classroom where sits she.

But that's all hove be'ind 'er — long ago an' fur away,

For she rises with the chickens at the breakin of the day,

An she's learnin here at A.C. that there's work that must be done,

Though the siveeter dreams are calling, there's the race that must be run.

125

No, she don't want nothin else

But to git outside these cells,
Away from discipline an study an the recitation bells!

In the halls of A.C.C.,

Where the students ever be,
An the "Prof comes up like thunder outer classroom where sits she.

She is sick o' wastin' good times on a beastly hard lesson.
An' a-thinkin o' the honors that the other girl has won;
Though she walk with fifty students, or the entire student band,
They talk o' high ambitions, an' wot does she understand?

High ambitions, honors and —

Law! wot does she understand?
She's an easy good-time maiden, for an easy good-lime land!

In the halls of A.C.C..

Where the students ever be,
An' the "Prof" comes up like thunder outer classroom where sits she.

Ship 'er somewheres from old W'ilson, where the best is like the worst,
Where there's plenty Coca-Cola an' a girl can quench 'er thirst;
For the study bells are ringin', an' it's there she would not sit,
In the old an' moss-groivn building looking eastward to the street.

On the lawn an' in the hall.

Where are watchful teachers all.
An she sighs indeed at parting from her gum in early fall.

In the halls of A.C.C..

Where the students ever be,
An the "Prof" comes up like thunder outer classroom where sits she.

Match-making at A.C.C.

Annual Report from the "White House"
An Autumn Recipe

Take a boy in love and a girl not quite convinced. Place together in a secluded
corner of the porch with two chairs, and stir slowly. Add a slight breeze from the
south, a clash of courage, and a heaping teaspoonful of persuasiveness. Sprinkle with
afternoon sunshine sifted through September foliage, and keep away until wanted.

Results: Unless the exact proportions of ingredients are put in, according as
each case demands, some will take more time to show results than others, some may
fail and curdle, others may be suited for a future wedding feast.

The Future of A. C. College

Some eighteen years ago the Disciples of Christ in North Carolina, perceiving
that they had a great opportunity to establish an institution of higher learning,
founded Atlantic Christian College. Some of the noblest spirits of the day cooper-
atively laid the foundations, of whom were J. J. Harper, Dennis W. Davis, W. J.
Crumpler, E. A. Moye, B. H. Melton, Dr. H. D. Harper, and others.

In the presidency of this institution four men have served, as follows: J. C.
Coggins, for two years; J. J. Harper, for three years; J. C. Caldwell, for nine years;
R. A. Smith, for four years. These men enrolled almost three thousand students in
the period of their incumbencies. A. C. College began when her liabilities far
exceeded her assets, whereas the happy reverse obtains today, when our college assets
exceed her liabilities by a full one hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars.

What has the future in store for A. C. College?

Our college is situated in Wilson, North Carolina, which, with more than two
score of passenger trains daily, is the most accessible point in the Stale for the com-
munity she can best serve. And Wilson has all the advantages of the small city of
fifteen thousand people, as contrasted with the prevailing provincialism of the small
town, or the disquieting complexities of the large city. Yet this small city is a com-
mercial center, as the largest loose-leaf market in the world for bright tobacco,
outselling the Twin Cities, her nearest competitor, this past season by three and a hall
million pounds. And the famous Hackney factories arid much to the importance of
the city in manufacture. Here, also, are the attractive places of worship, manned
with able ministers, of the six or seven representative Protestant religious bodies of
the region.

This College is open, as a matter of course, to all students, without discrimination
as to religious preferences, and each year several religious communions are repre-
sented in the student enrollment. But the college is owned and operated by the Dis-
ciples of Christ of the Carolinas, and is deeded in fee simple to them. Now, it
happens that of the Disciples in North Carolina about nine-tenths of their number
are rural, or subsist very largely by their rural holdings. Furthermore, that part of
North Carolina in which Disciples are most numerous is shaded on the map by the
geographer to indicate thus the richest agricultural section in the State. This past
season these farms were productive of cash earnings beyond all precedent, only three
States in the whole Union standing ahead of the "Old North State.'" in this respect,
namely, Texas, Iowa, and Illinois. It stands to reason this prosperity is certain to
continue.

142

The future of A. C. College is thus conditioned, not by any evident poverty, but
certainly by the actual enormous wealth of the community which it serves.

And what may be said of the educational status of this institution? It has ever
been the ambition of her administrative excutives to provide the means for student
training equal to any institution of higher learning within the State. The quality of
this training has been recognized expressly by the State's leading educational authority,
and credit is therefore given hour for hour in the University of this Commonwealth.

When a college is so grounded, materially, religiously, and educationally, what
of her future?

In the day which is immediately ahead there must be and will be an ample
endowment fund provided, likewise a corresponding radical increase of equipment,
which is just as imperatively necessary. The thirty thousand dollars now in hand as
a permanent fund from the estate of C. N. Nurney, is but a beginning of the endow-
ment which must be and will be provided that the college may substantially develop
her true capacities for service to this highly favored region. This enlargement
campaign will be aggressively and persistently pushed to completion. The leaders
of the constituency of our college have come to the profound conviction that her
future pivots on her adequate financial undergirding, and with crusading zeal they
will see their conviction through.

With the enormous expansion of wealth in the region where our college chiefly
serves, her soul will be disembodied, if she cannot share equitablv in the all-prevailing
prosperity of the day.

The ministry of the Disciples, in common with their religious neighbors, is
suffering fearfully from gradual depletion. Instead of training men by the hundreds
for the ministry as our college has done in the brief period of her history, she must
train them by the thousands in the years ahead. And when virile young men, choice
in their native blood and native training, shall minister effectively in this large com-
munity, they will duplicate the record of the last eighteen years — yea, they will more
than double the strength of the church in this given period.

In that great region of our State east of Raleigh, embracing scores of counties,
A. C. College pioneered, and has long held first place as the institution of higher
learning. She must and will adorn that place of honor by her continued dynamic
expression of the highest ideals of educational service. A highly honored man of
America said that the World War taught us that nothing is good but service. Her
service to her young men and her young women, by A. C. College, will strengthen
the State, breathe life into the church, and conserve the essentials of Christian
civilization.

Her thousands and thousands of children who are, and who are yet to be, will
justify and crown her life, and sense for her the coming of the glad new day.

Editorial

After many days of toil and sleepless nights another
Pine Knot is ready for the press. The work, although long
and difficult, has not heen at all unpleasant.

It has not been the aim of the editors to make this vol-
ume of the Pine Knot so much a work of literature or a work
of art as a mirror of the student life. If we have accom-
plished this, the editors will not feel that their efforts have
been in vain.

The Editor-in-Chief wishes to take this opportunity to
thank each one of the staff for their interest and cooperation
in this publication.

He also wishes to express his appreciation to the business
men of Wilson who by their hearty support have made possi-
ble this issue of the Pine Knot.

144

145

In behalf of the Staff of the 1920 Pine Knot, I wish
to express appreciation for the support of those who are
advertising in this publication. Let us keep in mind that
they deserve the patronage of the students and community.

Please mention The Pine Knot when dealing with
or writing to advertisers.

Rupert A. Phillips,

Business Manager.

THE GUARDIAN LIFE INSURANCE CO.
OF AMERICA

The Company of Modern Insurance Service
ESTABLISHED IN 1860 UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

WAIVER OF PREMIUMS AND AN-
NUITY IN CASE OF DISABILITY.
If the Insured shall become totally dis-
abled before age 60 as a result of dis-
ease or accident, the Company will waive
payment of premiums falling due during
such disability and continue to pay
dividends and allow guaranteed values
and other benefits as if the premiums
were being paid in cash, and in addi-
tion to waiving premiums will pay to
the Insured an annuity of one-tenth of
the face amount of the policy as long
as he shall remain totally disabled. At
the maturity of the policy the sum in-
sured will be payable in full without
any deduction for premiums waived or
annuity payments made.

A DOUBLE INDEMNITY. In case of
the death of the Insured before age 60
as a result of accident of any kind, the
amount payable as a claim by death
will be double the face amount of the
policy.

For these special benefits in case of
disability or accidental death a moder-
ate premium is charged.

YOU "intend" to apply for
more insurance some time,
don't you?

Very good — BUT

It isn't what you "intend" to
do that counts

It Is What You Do

Rent and grocery bills can't be
paid with "good intentions."

Do you KNOW that you will
be living and in good health
next month?

If you can't answer "YES," do
something toward getting your
house in order.

Standard Eight

A Power ful Car

T^HE Standard Eight has power
to meet any emergency of traf-
fic. It delivers that power so easily
that its performance is as unos-
tentatious as are its finish and
appointments.

Coupled with the pride of owner-
ship in its beauty and performance
is the lasting satisfaction that
comes from its economical opera-

tion and reasonable upkeep charges. ]
Built by the Standard Steel Car
Company, world famous as master
buildersof railroad rollingstock, the
Standard Eight does not develop
weaknesses in construction which
sometimes show even in high-
priced cars under rough usage.

Let us give you a demonstra-
tion. J

1HE graduate of today enters a world
electrical.

Gathered from the distant waterfalls or
generated by the steam turbine, electric
power is transmitted to the busiest city
or the smallest country place.

Through the co-ordination of inventive
genius with engineering and manufac-
turing resources, the General Electric
Company has fostered and developed to
a high state of perfection these and
numerous other applications.

And so electricity, scarcely older than the gradu-
ate of today, appears in a practical, \\ ell developed
service on every hand.

Recognize its power, study its applications to your
life's work, and utilize it to the utmost for the
benefit of all mankind.

BEAVER BOARD

FOR BETTER WALLS & CEILINGS

■yOU can't expect
* Beaver Board
results unless this
trade- mark is on
the back of the
board you buy.

The Old Home Looks Young Again

It's a surprise for you!
"Dad and I had th« old cracked walls all
covered with Beaver Board. The old, dingy wall
paper is gone, no more ceilings can fall, the old
home looks young again."

Beaver Board will give you just as pleasant a sur-
prise. It comes in big, sturdy panels made from the strong,
clean fibre of the spruce tree, without a crack, knot or
blemish — ready to nail over old walls and ceilings or the
studding of new partitions! For the new home, Beaver
Board is equally satisfactory. It keeps out cold in winter
and heat in summer. Patent "Sealtite" surface prevents
warping.
